Dissolving the Ego of Fashion

Engaging with Human Matters

The Fashion Professorship aims to rethink the cracks in the fashion system and the role that fashion plays – and could potentially play – in relation to urgent social, cultural, environmental and political developments in contemporary society. We envision an alternative and more engaged future of fashion in which we do more justice to fashion’s human dimension. Through research, design and critical thinking, we analyse and develop alternative approaches, systems, vocabularies and strategies. In doing so, we aim to activate the power of fashion to reimagine future bodies, future materials and future makers to contribute to resilient futures and inclusive societies.

Launch special edition APRIA journal - ArtEZ Platform for Research Interventions of the Arts - on the Fashion Colloquium.

Finally, we will launch the special edition of the new online APRIA journal – on the Fashion Colloquium, a two-day conference, which we hosted in Arnhem in May-June 2018 during State of Fashion. This special edition includes a selection of thought-provoking contributions by the keynote speakers, creative practitioners and academic researchers who participated in the conference. This will be a moment to look back at the critical discussions we started during the Colloquium, and to continue our conversations.
